CASH ANEE PACKAGE CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,110, dated June 26, 1888.

I Application filed lllarch 1, 1888. Serial No. 265,794. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM T. GELTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mansfield, in the county of Itiehland and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash and Package Carriers; andIdo declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in cash and package carriers, but more particularly to cash-carriers, the object of the same being to provide a changeable incline by means of which cash or small articles may be expeditiously conveyed from one portion of a store-room to another.

A further object of my invention is to provide a means of the above character which shall be simple and economical in construc tion, durable, and efficient in use; and with these ends in view my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a view in side elevation of so much of a cash or parcel carrier as is necessary for the purpose of illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of same, taken in line a as, Fig. 1.

The track is sustained at each end by suitable supports,usually at one end in proximity to the cashiers desk and at the other by a hanger.

A represents the hanger,whieh is attached to the ceiling by any suitable means. Upon the support or hanger A is pivoted a tilting guide adapted to be oscillated in vertical planes. The outer or station end of the track is provided with a holder adapted to secure said end of thetrack, which holder is mounted upon the tilting guide andis adapted to move up and down thereon under the stress or pull of the track, carrying with it said end of the track and changing the inclination of the latter. In the form in which I have embodied my invention for the purpose of making it clearly understood I provide a pivoted loop, one side of which forms a guide, and the said holder consists of a yoke having an eye which holds the track-wire, and provided also with a roller, through the medium of which it is mounted on and engages with said guide. I will now proceed to describe the devices above referred to in detail.

B is a bracket, which is constructed with a sleeve threaded so as to screw on the end of hanger A, which has an ontwardly-projecting lug, M, and to which is pivoted the pivotplate G at K.

1*] is a loop formed with each end round, which may be made of iron tube or a solid metallic rod,the ends terminating and secured rigidly in the pivot-plate G.

J is a yoke, to which is attached the wire H. In the open end of the yoke is journaled the roller O. The outer bar, E, of the loop E forms a guide or track for the roller O. The

opposite end of the wire Il may be secured to a hanger or the wall, or to any suitable attachment, the wire being stationary at that end. Between the pivot-plate G and the end of the projecting lug M is placed the double spring D. This spring is for the purpose of easing the pivot-plate from concussion when the wire passes downward and past the center of the link, as shown in dotted lines, Fig 1.

The operation is as follows: The position of the line shown in Fig. 1 is proper to forward the car to the home station,which latter is indicated at S. Forcing theloop in the direction indicated by arrow reverses the incline of the guide E, the roller 0 passes downward on said guide, and when past the pivot-center passes downward to the end of the loop, changing the incline of track H,as indicated by dotted lines, Fig. 1. The loop E may be moved by applying the hand to its lower end and pushing or pulling it forward or backward, or'it may be operated by a hand-lever secured to the rear bar of the loop or to the pivot on which it tilts and extending downward. Various de vices might be employed for this purpose.

Having fully described my inventiomwhatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In a cash and package carrier, the combination, with a suitable support, of a tilting guide pivoted thereon, a holder mounted on said guide and adapted to shift up and down upon the same, a track secured at one end to IOC said holder, and a suitable support at the other end of said track, substantially as set forth.

2. In a cash and package carrier, the combination, with a suitable support, of atilting guide pivoted thereon, a holder mounted by means of a roller 011 said guide and adapted to shift up and down upon the same, a track secured at one end to said holder,and a suitable support for the other end of the track, substantially as set forth.

3. In a cash andpackage carrier apparatus, the combination of a hanger provided with a tilting loop, E, having a guide, E, a yoke, J

7 provided with a roller mounted on said track anda track, II, secured at one end to the cashiers desk and at the other end to the vyoke J, substantially as described.

4. The combination of the hanger A, having the bracket B, the pivot-plate G,the loop E, the spring D, the yoke J, having the roller 0, and the track H, arranged as described, and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
